The French Department has an open door policy and students are welcome to ask staff for help whenever it is needed. Furthermore, sixth formers also mentor younger students at KS 3 and 4. Help sessions are also run at lunchtime.

The French department caters for all needs in lessons and more able students are set challenging tasks and encouraged to become more inquisitive researchers and learners, going beyond the curriculum in their own work and reading.

Throughout the year, students are offered opportunities to enrich their learning through authentic documents, cultural aspects, French magazines or newspapers, trips (Normandy, French exchange), videos, ICT language sites.
